Homepage for Splunk

We are pleased to announce the release of our new app, Homepage for Splunk. This Splunk certified app presents your logged in users with a ‘virtual cockpit’ that provides a single-pane-of-glass view into their specific use of Splunk.

The app is designed to be configured as the home page of your other Splunk apps (e.g. the Search App) and will help your users better understand Splunk and the data they can search.

The app uses a central home page, tailored to the user, that provides insights into the indexes and sourcetypes they have access to, search jobs they have run, their saved searches and dashboards and the apps they have permissions to access. Users are able to dynamically drill-down into more details, re-run searches and jobs, or immediately search specific data sources.

Features

The app provides the following key features:

Presents users with a virtual cockpit into Splunk, providing at-a-glance key information tailored to the logged in user

Greatly aids in a user’s understanding of Splunk, the data sources they can access and their specific search activity

Viewing the Homepage Dashboard

The app is purposely configured to be hidden. Once the Homepage for Splunk app is installed, the logged user can view the homepage dashboard from any of your other apps, due to the global permissions of the app.
